Finished a modest fourth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby last start. That came after he eased out of the race two runs ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Uttoxeter then again missed out in a hurdle (3900m) at Catterick last start. Will be thereabouts.

Returned from a 118-day spell last start with a moderate eighth on the flat at Southwell All Weather over 2400m, beaten 7 lengths. Before that first-up run he transferred to the Micky Hammond yard. Tested in this line-up.

Has a handy record over the jumps but was not a factor last time when beaten 49 lengths into ninth in a hurdle (4100m) at Huntingdon. Has ability and is one of the chances.

Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a hurdle (4000m) at Sedgefield then was beaten 18 lengths into fifth in a hurdle (4000m) at Musselburgh two months ago. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Ran a much better race last time to finish in the minors when third in a 3300m hurdle at Newbury. Close-up last time and could feature with further improvement.

Filled a minor placing two runs ago in a hurdle (4000m) at Uttoxeter. Repeated the dose last time when third in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick, beaten 1.3 lengths. Ready to bounce back to winning form.

Struggling to recapture his best form, the latest effort a disappointing sixth, beaten 37 lengths, in a hurdle (4900m) at Haydock Park. Looking elsewhere.

Honest jumper ready to win with placings at last three runs. Last start was second when beaten 6 lengths over 3300m at Exeter. Rates highly here and is overdue for a win. Expected to measure up.

Back from a 68-day break. Finished off last campaign when tenth in a hurdle (4000m) at Wincanton, beaten 47 lengths. This looks tough and others preferred.

Back from a 64-day break. Finished off last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (3900m) at Lingfield, beaten 5.5 lengths. Makes strong appeal.
